That’s assuming this government have the competence, or the will, to control said surge. If they’re just going to throw their hands up and let it rip so be it.
However I don’t think anyone should be acting under the pretence that this is a positive for the economy and/or wider public health to do so. If the response to an inevitable surge ends up with a significant number of people acting in a risk averse manner for a sustained period of time the businesses (and staff) many profess to be acting in the concern for will go to the wall anyway. All we’ve done is withdraw the financial support packages that have been in place for 17 months. That said for some I suspect that’s entirely the point.
I’ll be the first to put my hands up and say businesses need financial support and I’m happy for the state to do so. I wonder how many join me?
